39 – The Magical Girl Has Come to Attack (4)

39 – The Magical Girl Has Come to Attack (4)

“Huh? Magical girl?”

In the control room of , a monster tilted its head, looking at a hologram screen floating in the air.

Surveillance camera made with Mekrak’s latest technology—the video floating as a hologram showed women who appeared to be magical girls.

‘Come to think of it, a strange letter fell.’

Magical girls are invading—a piece of paper with no context or basis, and an unnecessarily elaborate cookie drawing in the corner. What’s this prank? Why is this here? I thought, half in doubt, but seeing the group of monsters near the entrance swept away in an instant a moment ago, it turned into certainty. Earthlings don’t usually wear such peculiar outfits…

“Magical girls are a bit dangerous.”

If it were a high-ranking officer, it would be strong enough, but three magical girls… Considering the unusual combat abilities they just showed, it’s still unsettling.

A wise man does not walk a dangerous path. Even if there’s a 50/50 chance of winning, I don’t want to take the risk of failure.

Should I manipulate things to send them back for now… but,

Flap-

“Huh? Another letter?”

Out of nowhere, a piece of paper fluttered down.

I skillfully snatched it and checked,

[Don’t worry, meow. You guys can do it, meow.]

Along with that message, the usual cookie drawing was there.

“……Hoo?”

As the light disappeared, I widened my eyes at the appearance of the costume.

Because what appeared was a familiar costume. A fluttering skirt, a suit that clung to the body, garter belts, overshoes, and gloves—a very common magical girl costume that I often encountered.

Strange.

Really strange.

Because it was strange that it was ordinary when Cookie was involved.

“Why, why are you looking at me like that, meow……?”

“……..”

Suspicion overflowed, but I turned my eyes away with an awkward expression. Even if it’s suspicious, there’s no evidence, and I feel sorry for suspecting them for no reason. More than that, Cookie might have the authority to do something with the costume… maybe? I don’t know. If they say no, then no.

“No, it’s nothing.”

As I transformed, Alpha also transformed. Not using , but the same frilly dress-like .

Leaving the rescued women behind, we moved inside again.

‘…It’s a strange structure, really.’

No matter how carefully I examined it, wondering what the intention was behind it, it felt strangely odd.

The place where the monsters were busily moving around a moment ago felt like a company or broadcasting station that you could see anywhere in the city, but this place felt like a quiet and gloomy cave, and the paths were quite twisted.

I felt like I would get lost if I let my guard down.

“I, I don’t really know this place either… He, hehe…..”

The driver man we brought as a guide said so, so all I could rely on was my own eyes and the map I had taken earlier.

But even that map,

“…It’s a bit different from what’s shown here? There are many paths and rooms that aren’t on the map. The structure also seems a bit different.”

Alpha said, comparing the smartphone with the actual visible passage.

What’s that? What’s the point of having a map?

“……It feels very strange. There are strange grooves and stuff.”

“Grooves?”

“Yes. Look at this.”

Yura tapped the strange marks on the floor near her feet.

I don’t know what they’re for, but the structure is very unique in many ways. If it were a broadcasting station or a company, they would prioritize efficiency and put similar types of rooms in one place, and make the structure simple enough to see at a glance.

But here, the intervals between rooms are far apart, and the paths are unnecessarily curved. No, I want to tell them not to build such useless buildings in a country where land is already scarce. I know there’s plenty of space in the mountains, but….

A structure that’s hard to get into and hard to get out of… is that it?

‘Is it to tie up people when they try to escape? Or is it a preparation against intruders?’

Thinking that, I suddenly thought of the Labyrinth of Knossos in Greek mythology. Labyrinth. Maze. No matter how I think about it, it doesn’t seem like it would fit in a studio.

Anyway, we don’t know where the women are being held, so we opened all the doors we could see.

“There’s no one here.”

Yura muttered anxiously.

“Are you worried about Blue Sapphire?”

“Yes, well… she feels like a cute younger sister. I knew her and was friends with her even before she became a magical girl.”

“Really?”

“That’s why I might be more worried. I know her personality… she’s full of confidence and has talent, but she’s very clumsy, and she gets easily influenced… even after the last mine incident….”

Yura sighed, putting her hand on her cheek as if worried.

Certainly, Blue seemed clumsy from the start. When she came to save me, she ended up getting caught by the monster instead.

A confident, clumsy, and incompetent magical girl.

Suddenly, Alpha’s hand came up to my shoulder.

“Hey, don’t tell me…”

“You thought of that too?”

I swallowed hard.

“”Witch Girl Peach Pot…!”

The epitome of a clumsy magical girl. An absurd gag character, but sometimes monopolizing indescribably serious scenes, the clumsy cider character from .

Alpha shook her head, holding her forehead.

“No… there’s no way a real woman could be like that. Peach Pot, only Peach Pot…! It’s a completely created product! Such a perfect clumsy cider doesn’t exist in the world! I don’t have any useless fantasies about reality!”

“You have to have dreams and hopes that she might exist in reality to be a fan of ! Your thoughts are full of resignation and defeat that don’t suit magical girl stories!”

Yura watched us start to bicker with interest.

It was then.

Bang—the nearby doors opened all at once.

『It’s a magical girl!』

『Run away! Evacuate to the basement as instructed!』

『Take the women! If you’re about to get caught, throw them as hostages!』

With sudden commotion, monsters poured out into the passage from each room all at once.

“?! They must have found out we infiltrated!”

“I’ll go right away.”

Before Yura, I kicked off the floor with enhanced leg strength and flew like a bullet towards the fleeing monsters.

“H, huh?!”

“Hi.”

I slammed the head of the monster at the very end into the wall. There was a terrifying sound.

“F, fast?! Run away! Run away!”

“T, there’s a hostage! Think about what will happen to this woman if you touch me! Have mercy! Please! Please! Honestly, I don’t know what to do with a hostage!”

Well, I guess I’ll chase after and kill the ones who are running away.

Thinking that, I decided to take care of the guys who were trying to hold out with hostages first.

“Disappeared…?!”

“I’ll have mercy and hit you gently.”

By pouring magic power into my legs and moving, my body narrowed the distance to the monster in an instant, almost like shrinking the earth.

Pow-!

I tried to hit him gently, but it’s very grotesque to see his head explode like a tomato. It was fortunate that the hostage woman was unconscious and couldn’t see properly.

Yura and Alpha joined in to eliminate the fleeing monsters. But there were still many left.

Ah, a strange feeling is starting to sprout.

Looking at those helpless monsters running away so desperately, I felt, what should I say, an unspeakable sense of omnipotence…? It felt good. That’s right. The aesthetics of a mass hunt, it feels good to trample on weaklings.

“Hahahahahahahahahahaha! You’re like spiderlings!”

“Uwaaaak! She’s crazy! She’s a crazy magical girl!”

“Be careful! If you get caught, you’ll die without mercy!”

“Hwaaaaaak! I’ve been grabbed by the ankle! Save meeeee~~~!”

“Smoke! Use smoke!”

“Hmph…! I’ll stop them. I’m a bull monster confident in my strength—Pohak?!”

“He couldn’t even withstand one hit?! The bull guy has a hole in his belly!!!”

It was literally pandemonium. A melting pot of chaos.

“Ahahahahahahahahaha!”

I laughed like a demon, covered in the blood and bodily fluids of the monsters.

The elation, different from usual, was probably because of the resentment from the last monster, Rupan.

I was unilaterally beaten by that bastard, and I let him go without even getting proper revenge. I had been grinding my teeth and dwelling on that anger every night recently, so that anger burst out at this moment.

“S, sis….”

“You have the same expression as the corrupted Ruby in the movie version….”

Yura and Alpha, who were helping from the side, looked at me with a look of disgust later on. But I don’t care!

But it was at that moment.

“Iyaa! I’ll catch and kill you all, just wait—Uhet?!”

Thud!

After pulling out one guy’s shoulder and leg bones and crushing his whole body into minced meat, I was about to pounce on the next target… but I lost my balance and fell.

“Ah, ouch….”

The floor was deeply gouged with a terrifying sound. It doesn’t hurt much, but a groan came out.

“Are you an idiot, why are you suddenly falling by yourself?”

“N, no… something’s strange.”

What was that just now?

Just before I fell, I felt like I had a strange feeling.

“A, anyway, I have to chase them before they escape!”

I tried to kick off the floor again.

But at that moment, the same—something ‘wriggling’ sensation was felt in my private area.

“Hwik…!?!”

Thanks to that, I stopped abruptly in the posture of trying to run out, and stood awkwardly.

H, huh…?

“? What are you really doing?”

“…………What is it…?”

I carefully reached under my skirt and touched my private area. There’s nothing wrong. It’s the usual smooth texture, clinging tightly. But I don’t know where the wriggling feeling from before came from.

I tilted my head, wondering.

“They ran away. We could have chased them, but….”

Yura looked around.

The women that the monsters had thrown as hostages and bait were rolling on the floor. We can’t just leave them like this….

“Shall we wait until Cookie comes?”

At my suggestion, Yura and Alpha nodded.

A whirring sound was ringing.

In a place that Keine and the others don’t know, the walls are rising, the floor is moving, and the structure of the building is changing like it’s alive. All of this is the result of direct manipulation from the control room.

The training room of , also known as the taming room, is an important base for their ambitions. It was also a fortress designed to withstand the invasion of vicious magical girls.

Originally, extracting magic power from magical girls is much more efficient than extracting it from ordinary women.

But the executives of had more in mind than that.

The AVs they produce have Mekrak people and Earth’s wealthy as their customers.

And they prefer to subjugate strong women, or rare women.

Magical girls were very good actors who met their needs. Moreover, they are this strong. If they add a video of subjugating them behind this strong-looking video… ha, haha. They could make a video that would suit the tastes of the wealthy so much that it’s laughable. They could sell it for a very high price.

So they won’t let them go.

The paper that flew from the air, saying [You guys can do it, meow], also had a basis for giving them confidence that they could defeat even three magical girls. They don’t know if they can trust it, but it’s too good of a material to let go of like this. It was too precious.

“Hehe… I’m going to catch them all and film embarrassing and shameful treasure erotic videos! I’m a billionaire now!”

The chief director monster of , adjusting the structure of the area in the control room, burst into a sinister laugh.
